GPS
The following
messages
are
displayed
while the GPS receiver is
tracking satellites:
Locating GPS Satellites
The
NVE-M300 searches the sky looking for
GPS
satellites.
Acquiring GPS Signal
The NVE-M300 acquires positioning information transmitted
from 1 to 3 tracked satellites while searching for more satellites
(minimum 4
of
needed).
Fixing GPS Position
The
NVE-M300 requires continuous signals from 4 or more
tracked satellites (for 30 seconds) in order to accurately fix your
position.
Temporary Poor GPS Coverage
Thunderstorms, dense foliage or surrounding tall buildings may
cause temporary loss of position
fix
(acceptable if under 30
seconds).
Poor GPS Signal, Lost Position Fix
You
may have entered
an
area where consistently poor
GPS
signal (lasting 30 seconds or more) makes it impossible to
maintain a position fix.
No Line
of
Sight, Lost GPS Tracking
You
are in
an
area where line of sight to
GPS
satellites has been
blocked.
